...year, Christopher J. Perriello '99, bought basins, drains and pumps, and screwed them together to create a tropical waterfall with a six-foot drop in his dorm room. The fluorescence mixed in with the water gleamed under his black lights. Outside, the cold New England ground was wet with gray rain, but inside, warm tropical water splashed down to a rock beach dotted in shells and starfish. Perriello painted fluorescent mermaids on his walls and installed recessed fish tanks behind his homemade wall of water, creating what he calls a "life-sized aquarium."

The new show gathers, with mixed results, a small group of culturemakers to discuss a single topic, like...
...fighting men of the Civil War, whether Blue or Gray, are recalled with sympathy, poignancy. They left their homes to fight in someone else's backyard for freedom or tradition. The truth, though, may be closer to the blind, bloody chaos depicted in Ang Lee's severe, handsomely rendered Ride with the Devil. In Border states like Missouri, a young man was at war not only with his brother but with his own best instincts as well...
